Speaking on his podcast, The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, Mike said: "Louis, he was just wanting to have fun."

He continued: "My two are always mischievous so it's trying to keep a lid on. There were a lot of sweets out back though, so there was a real sugar high."

The rugby star went on to add: "They're all young… it's a long time. But as any parents knows you just do whatever needs to be done."

Speaking of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in general, Mike said it was "outstanding" and "great to be a part of".
